Barber Foods Chicken Grillables Review & Grill Giveaway!!

We have been a big fan of Barber Foods for quite a while. They are delicious and make an ideal dinner entree. As a matter of fact, if you go into my freezer right now, you'll find several different types! My husband and I love the chicken cordon bleu and the broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts, and our 12 year old daughter will fight over the broccoli and cheese ones. They are a great way to entice your kids to eat their vegetables!

When I had the opportunity to try the Barber Foods Chicken Grillables, I was very excited! They have been available for a while, and I never noticed them. Now that I have tried them, they have become a new addition to my dinner menu! Chicken Grillables are lightly seasoned with just the right amount of onion, garlic and other spices. The patties are all natural and have only 140 calories and 5 grams of total fat per 4 oz serving. Delicious and good for you? They are also very easy to prepare. Barber Foods recommends preparing them one of these three ways:

We prepared ours on our outdoor gas grill and they were so good. They did not dry out!
My hubby preferred to eat his as sandwiches with lettuce and tomato. My daughter and I paired our Chicken Grillables with rice pilaf and steamed broccoli! This was one meal where there was nothing left!

I was able to find my Barber Foods Chicken Grillables at our local Harris Teeter. To find out where you can buy them, click HERE, and enter your zip code at where to buy. Now, all you need to figure out is what side dish to serve! You can get some wonderful ideas from Barber Foods on their Side Dish Recipes section. My daughter loved the broccoli slaw and my hubby loved the grilled sweet potatoes.

My favorite summer side dish is marinated veggies and macaroni. I cook a box of macaroni, drain, add a bottle of balsamic vinegarette dressing and set it aside to cool.

While that’s cooling, I chop red onions, red peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, cukes, grape tomatoes (halved), brocoli florets, shredded carrots (change up the veggies however you want). I don’t have set amounts, the more the merrier. You could also add olives or mushrooms but since I don’t like either, I never do.

Add the juice of 2 lemons (plus the zest if you want), and more balsamic vinegarette dressing (anywhere from 1/2 to a whole bottle, depending on the amount of veggies). Add a couple of containers of feta crumbles, add the whole thing to the cooled macaroni, stir and serve.

If you’ve got fresh herbs on hand (parsley, mint, thyme) you can add some but I find the dressing has enough flavor that I don’t need extra herbs.

Since there’s no mayo it can sit out and it gets better as the days go by.
